Our work at Department for Education is already underway. We’re resetting the relationship between the government and those working in education. Together, we’ll deliver change: the best start in life for every child, high & rising standards and a country where background is no barrier.

I've seen people criticized for using the words "effectiveness" and "efficiency" in education. Whatever you think education should do, if you don't care about effectiveness, you don't care about students, and if you don't care about efficiency, you don't care about teachers.
